NAME

       pw-inspector - A tool to reduce the password list


SYNOPSIS

       pw-inspector [-i FILE] [-o FILE] [-m MINLEN] [-M MAXLEN] [-c MINSETS]
       -l -u -n -p -s


DESCRIPTION

       PW-Inspector reads passwords in and prints those which meet the
       requirements.  The return code is the number of valid passwords found,
       0 if none was found.  Use for security: check passwords, if 0 is
       returned, reject password choice.  Use for hacking: trim your
       dictionary file to the pw requirements of the target.  Usage only
       allowed for legal purposes.
